Genealogy and Me

I was sitting at my computor one night when a commercial came on TV for Ancestry.com. I thought to myself, here I am in my mid 60's and I don't even know the name of my great grandfather. Most of my family had passed away or I had lost contact with them. At first I didn't want to spend any money to find things but finally joined Ancestry.com. I now have about 14,000 people in my tree and finding more every day. I have joined another tree that has over 4000 CRABTREEs in it and thousands of other people. With their help and the help of ancestry.com and many others I have managed to trace both my paternal and maternal lines back to the 1500's. With the marriages of the Crabtree and Fogle line I now have several hundred names that are some how related . Life is good.
